Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

Xia Bing's feelings were complicated, a mixture of shyness and shame.

After hearing Raymond Lam's explanation, she was both touched and a little disappointed.

Throughout Xia Bing's years in the martial arts world, Lin Feng has been the most outstanding man.

Does he really have no feelings for himself at all?

Seeing Xia Bing blush and remain silent, Lin Feng waved his hand.

"Go and rest, I'll go deal with the grass snake."

Xia Bing felt as if she had been granted a pardon upon hearing this. She turned around, covered her face, and ran away as fast as she could, her cheeks burning hot.

Tonight, I'm so embarrassed...

……

Five days later, deep within Elephant Trunk Hill.

A temporary camp of the Zhenyuan Army was hidden in the forest.

There weren't many people at the temporary camp; including Lin Feng, there were only about thirty.

Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, Wang Tu, Li Ke, Wan Qian, Wang Ling and other confidants were all present.

By the stream outside the camp, Wang Dahu frowned and said, "Xiaofeng, we've been trekking for so many days, and you still haven't said what we're here for."

"Your Uncle Er Gou and I are not sure what to do."

"You're not planning to go and fight those northern barbarian Tartars in Jiming City, are you?"

The relocation of the remains of fallen soldiers in Elephant Trunk Hill is nearing completion.

Lin Feng, however, secretly led his confidants deeper into Elephant Trunk Mountain, a journey that lasted five days.

Wang Dahu and Zhang Ergou, unaware of Lin Feng's intentions, were very worried that he might do something foolish.

"Godfather, Uncle Er Gou, don't worry."

Lin Feng stroked a piece of bluestone beside him, on which he had once carved a mark himself.

"I came to this mountain because there is an important place I need to explore."

"I'll be leaving tomorrow morning. You all wait for me here."

"I'll come back to find you after I've explored that area."

Wang Dahu and Zhang Ergou exchanged a glance. Zhang Ergou said, "Fengwazi, what's there to explore in these mountains?"

"How can your godfather and I feel at ease letting you go by yourself?"

"Why don't we go with you? That way we can look out for each other if anything goes wrong."

Lin Feng shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't you trust my skills?"

"I'll be gone for two or three days, or five or six days at most. You can wait for me here."

"Just keep your men under your command in check and don't let them run wild."

The location Lin Feng chose was about five miles away from the pool.

Within a five-mile radius of the mountains, it's not a short distance, and without a guide, no one would ever find Black Dragon Pool.

Lin Feng made his decision, and Wang Dahu and Zhang Ergou could only guard the camp for him and wait for Lin Feng's early return.

The following day, Lin Feng took food and various weapons and equipment and headed to Black Dragon Pool.

At noon, the autumn sun shone brightly.

The howling mountain wind lashed against Lin Feng's body.

He untied the rope and glanced down the cliff.

Although it was noon, the light was still dim at the foot of the cliff, and you could not see the pool unless you looked carefully.

Lin Feng first found a reliable and sturdy tree, then tied a rope to it and used the rope to lower it down.

The last time Lin Feng fell off a cliff was at night, and he didn't have time to observe carefully in the life-or-death situation.

It was only by slowly fishing down the cliff that I saw all the different things below.

The cliff face below the mountain is not smooth, and there are many protruding strange rocks on it.

If Lin Feng had been even slightly unlucky that night, he would have broken his bones and tendons if he had bumped into the strange rock!

"Bang!"

With his feet touching the ground, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking out, the familiar deep pool lies quietly at the bottom of the cliff, like the gaping maw of a giant beast.

"The fight to the death with Zheng Yan here was quite thrilling."

"Looking at it this way, the scenery here is actually quite nice."

Lin Feng muttered to himself as he unloaded his equipment one by one, preparing to enter the water.

He unloaded all the food, Cheng Ying sword, dagger, and tinder, as well as other necessities for survival in the wild.

Lin Feng even brought a shield with him, just in case of hidden weapons.

Once everything was ready, Raymond Lam took off his clothes, shoes, and socks, and carrying a water bag and a hammer, he jumped into the water.

"thump!"

The water temperature in the pool was still quite high at noon.

Even so, Lin Feng felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Fortunately, Raymond Lam had warmed up, so he could withstand the chill for a while.

The dappled sunlight fell into the deep pool, and some of the light spots shone directly on the black dragon statue.

A pair of eerie green eyes stared at him, radiating a ghostly light.

Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen a black dragon statue, Raymond Lam still felt a chill run down his spine.

When he swam to the black dragon statue, Lin Feng raised his hammer and began to hammer the entire statue.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sound of the hard stone carving striking the iron hammer was extremely crisp.

However, no matter how Lin Feng tapped on it, he couldn't find anything unusual about it.

Seeing that he was about to run out of breath, Lin Feng exhaled the stale air, took another breath using the air stored in his water pouch, and continued to strike.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The knocking sounds rose and fell, and Lin Feng knocked on almost the entire dragon's head and neck.

Am I really wrong?

Is this black dragon statue just a sculpture?

Lin Feng felt a little discouraged and slammed his fist down hard.

"Clang—"

The sound of this strike was completely different from before; the hammer seemed to have struck some kind of metal.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Feng perked up and quickly looked toward the spot where the sound had been made.

That location is at the lower jaw of the dragon's head in the black dragon stone carving.

Reverse scale?

Just as Lin Feng was about to investigate, he reached his limit and had to surface for air for the time being.

"The reverse scale appears to be a stone carving on the surface, but it is actually made of metal inside."

"It's strange, I wonder who has such craftsmanship."

After surfacing, Lin Feng went ashore first, taking with him the Cheng Ying sword, dagger, and other defensive weapons, before going back into the water.

He easily reached the reverse scale on the dragon's lower jaw and tried tapping it twice.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The audio feedback was the same as what Lin Feng had heard before.

Seeing this, Lin Feng mustered all his strength and smashed it hard at the point of reversal.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang—"

How terrifying is Raymond Lam's strength?

With three hammer blows, the metal at the reverse scale was forcefully driven in.

"Boom!"

At the end of the neck of the black dragon statue, which had been silent for countless years, a stone door slowly rose.

A door opened where the end of the dragon's neck connected to the stone wall!

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't hesitate and quickly swam towards the door.

It was dark and cold. When Lin Feng entered the dragon's neck, it felt as if he had truly entered the body of a dragon.

He swam upstream along the waterway, and the water temperature gradually increased as he swam.

Lin Feng had to catch his breath twice during the ordeal before he could hold on.

Finally, he surfaced.

A circular cave appeared before us, clearly artificially polished, with dazzling cloud patterns painted on the surrounding rock walls.

The reason you can see the cloud-like patterns is because there are some fluorite stones on the cave walls that emit a faint glow.

The outline of the cloud pattern could barely be discerned.

"There's definitely a hidden meaning!"

Lin Feng was overjoyed to see this.

He went to great lengths to uncover the secrets hidden within the Black Dragon Pool.

Now it seems there might be some treasure hidden here.

After getting out of the pool, Lin Feng shook off the water while observing the surroundings.

There was only one pool of water and one passageway in the cave; there was no other way out.

Looking into the depths of the passageway, it seemed to stretch on forever, and one wondered what might be hidden within.

Lin Feng first took out the clean clothes, shoes and socks that were packed in a leather bag and put them on. Then he took his weapon and shield, lit the fire flare, and walked into the passage.

The passageway was straight and neat, and the walls were extremely smooth.

"They even have wall lamps?"

He casually lit the wick, not knowing what the lamp oil was made of.

Despite not being used for many years, it can still be used as fuel to keep the wick burning.

With a few lights on, Lin Feng's tense mood eased somewhat.

He walked deeper and deeper, and when he lit the two wall lamps again, his gaze suddenly sharpened!

At the end of the passageway, a door appeared. Behind the vermilion door, a woman dressed in a dark red dress peeked out, revealing half of her face!

Her face was as pale as a paper doll, and her cheeks, half-hidden behind a pipa, wore a strange expression that was neither a smile nor a frown.

He was staring intently at Lin Feng at that moment!

"Who?!"
